Will Benjamin Netanyahu cancel the Pallywood version of Vacation? After his government shrugged its shoulders at a planned visit by fierce Israel opponents Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar a month ago, the Associated Press reported this morning that the prime minister might have changed his mind. The day before the pair are due to arrive, Netanyahu has been meeting with consultants to determine whether he can block their entry into Israel: Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was holding consultations with senior ministers and aides on Thursday to reevaluate the decision to allow two Democratic congresswomen to enter the...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday criticized a New York Times editor’s tweet suggesting Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) did not represent the Midwest. Jonathan Weisman, deputy Washington editor of The New York Times, made the comments in response to Justice Democrats spokesperson Waleed Shahid, who noted that the two progressive congresswomen were "from the Midwest." Weisman tweeted that calling the two Midwestern “is like saying @RepLloydDoggett (D-Austin) is from Texas or @repjohnlewis (D-Atlanta) is from the Deep South.” Ocasio-Cortez responded later in the morning, tweeting that her colleagues “literally are” Midwestern, adding “this comment is what...

DETROIT, Michigan — Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) refused to answer questions about conditions in Baltimore, despite the fact that Democrats have rallied around the city to oppose President Donald Trump’s criticisms. Tlaib was addressing reporters at a protest near the venue for the second Democratic debate, which is being hosted by CNN at the Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The theatre is within the boundaries of Rep. Tlaib’s 13th congressional district. Tlaib was participating in a “tax the rich” protest, complete with an inflatable chicken with a Trump hairstyle.

President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign released a new video attacking four radical Congresswomen who the president has zeroed in on as the new face of the Democratic Party. The campaign video kicks with an image of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), with googly eyes relacing Ocasio-Cortez’s regular eyes and the caption “The Squad: Meet the Leaders of the Democrat Party.”

The House of Representatives voted Tuesday by an overwhelming margin to pass a resolution condemning the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel and to endorse a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The non-binding resolution passed 398-17. Resolution sponsor Rep. Brad Schneider, a Democrat from Illinois, told JTA that the measure’s resounding success shows that support for Israel is a bipartisan phenomenon. While the resolution also made clear that Americans had the right to petition the government in support or opposition to a particular foreign policy, some Democrats argued that the resolution, which has no force in law,...

Deport this a--hole!” Tlaib, D-Mich., tweeted in December 2015, linking to a story about then-presidential candidate Trump’s highly controversial call for "a total and complete shutdown” of Muslims entering the United States after the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) vowed she is not going anywhere until President Trump is impeached in a speech at the NAACP annual convention in Detroit. Tlaib was responding to Trump's call to "send them back," referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her progressive colleagues.

Washington, DC - Muslim political leaders and academics are set to gather in Washington, DC, on Tuesday for what is being billed as the first national gathering of Muslims in politics in United States history. The historic moment comes as President Donald Trump and his supporters ramp up attacks on Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first two Muslim women in Congress. Organised by the Muslim Caucus, the Muslim Collective for Equitable Democracy 2019 will feature appearances by representatives Omar, as well as a host of other prominent Muslim American figures, including Gold Star father Khizr Khan and Keith Ellison,...

Erica Thomas is a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. Clearly, that's not where she wants her political career to end, however. Yesterday, she suddenly claimed on Twitter that a white guy had harassed her at a grocery store, and had even told her to "go back where you came from!" Obviously, this was meant to prove that President Trump's statements about The Squad are contagious. However, the accused man didn't take this lying down. When confronted by Rep. Thomas on camera he didn't take a step back and insisted that she wasn't telling the truth about their confrontation...

This clip is from a 2016 Trump rally in Detroit. Rashida Tlaib gets tossed out.

An August 2016 video of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) being escorted out of then-candidate Donald Trump's speech has resurfaced on social media. The video shows security cards removing Tlaib from the speech after interrupting the Republican nominee. "You guys are crazy!" Tlaib yells at people in the audience. It turns out Tlaib penned an opinion piece in the Detroit Free Press after the disruption took place to explain her actions. According to Tlaib, she felt compelled to disrupt Trump because of his "hate-filled rhetoric and tactics." She and 12 other women made a commotion during Trump's speech to the Detroit...

On Jan. 3, Nancy Pelosi presided over my swearing-in ceremony. With my hand on the Holy Bible surrounded by my wife and children, I thought I was standing next to the progressive hero, the Democrats’ top tactician, and the speaker of the House. I was dead wrong. Now I know there isn’t just one speaker, there are four. The self-proclaimed “squad,” Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley run the show in the People’s House. They’ve flanked Pelosi from the Left and stolen her mantle as the leader of the so-called progressives. Pelosi’s fall from grace has...

Who are the real American patriots? Who are the real racists? These two questions will play a big role in the 2020 election. The left is desperate to turn any traditional patriotic appeal into an act of racism. The left is desperate to smear Republicans and moderate Democrats as racists. Part of this desperation is in the left’s inability to debate the facts and their hope that strong smears can shame their opponents out of broaching the argument. Part of this desperation is in the left’s growing realization that President Trump and the Republicans are beginning to attract minority support...

2/ "The president won this one," said House Dem 1 of the Trump v Squad (AOC, Tlaib, Omar & Pressley) showdown. "What the president has done is politically brilliant. Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks and the president has now identified the entire party with them." ...

On The Chris Plante Show today on WMAL Radio, sub Chris Stigall took a call from Victor of Silver Spring, longtime WMAL listener, who gave an acronym for SQUAD: Socialist Queens Unmasking All Democrats. Brilliant, no?

Monday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin jumped into the fray of the most recent Washington, D.C., high drama over President Donald Trump’s tweets about the gaggle of far-Left House freshmen otherwise known as “the squad”: Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y; Rashida Tlaib, Mich; Ilhan Omar, Minn; and Ayanna Pressley, Mass. Levin pointed out that there are “a hell of a lot of Americans who are sick and tired of these freshman members of Congress” and the “horrendous things they’ve said about Jews and the horrendous things they’ve said about our country.” “Their ideology is not garden-variety liberalism; they’re...

Democratic U.S. Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are planning a visit to Israel and the West Bank in the coming weeks, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have to decide whether they would be let in to the country, over the support they have voiced for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. The Jewish Insider first reported the lawmakers' planned trip on Wednesday, noting that Omar said that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories will be the focal point of the trip: "Everything that I hear points to both sides feeling like there is still an occupation." Israeli...

In the few remaining days where Trump's controversial tweets will still be talked about, you must be able to appreciate when someone delivers a spot-on burn. Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy nailed it last night while appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News . "I don't think President Trump is a racist. I don't think his original tweet was racist. I think it was a poor choice of words, which is why he clarified," Kennedy said, pointing out that Trump has since said that anyone who hates America is free to leave. "I'm not sure the president should exchange...
